Neither does Fortran have realloc working as effectively as in C. That was discussed in another topic and, IMHO, is unfortunate.
So this thread is, of course, highly OT. For those (still) interested, I’d recommend a presentation (18 minutes video) referenced as last item in the OP article bibliography

Interesting view on C as opposed to other programming languages.
